Sat, 22 Jun 2024 03:11:38 -0700

Day before yesterday every time I plug in the charger orange light turns on for little while then it turn it self off, now since yesterday my PSP Go doesn't charge, NO orange light and I can't turn it on.

Any word of advice how can I determine what's causing this problem (USB cable, AC adapter, or PSP itself)?

PSP Go: Why does my PSP GO screen remains blank?

Thu, 11 Jul 2024 12:40:30 -0700

I was playing a game when the PSP Go accidentaly fell. It wasn't from a great height and it wasn't that hard. When I picked it up, the screen was blank so I turned it off for a few minutes and turned it back on. I could hear the startup tone and the XMB clicking when I move the buttons but the screen remains blank. It charges when I connect the charger and even goes to 'USB mode' when i connect the cable to my PC but the PSP GO screen remains blank. Any help?

PSP Go: Why will my psp go not turn on?

Mon, 10 Apr 2017 18:43:18 -0700

When the power switch is pressed the green light flashes for a second, but the unit doesn't power up. When the unit is charging the charging light is on, but it still wont power up. When the unit is plugged into the PC it is not recognized. Without disassembling the unit I am not able to do anything else with it.

Fri, 13 Aug 2021 11:48:44 -0700

After i disassembled and rereassembled my PSP Go to fix my power switch; i used the PSP Go Teardown guide from this website, and now both the Start & Select buttons won't work anymore; and they were working before then.

so i tried taking my psp go apart and putting it back together again while going over the teardown guide thinking i over looked something, anyone have an idea of what that might be?

PSP Go: Loss of audio Output From Units speakers.

Sat, 09 Aug 2025 01:04:40 -0700

Hi_,

I have my psp go doing an odd thing.

It powers on fine and all functions are correct - save one. Audio.

Initially i susected that the device was assuming thati had headphones in - but when headphones are inserted the volume changes ion screen to the volume i had set last for headphones and audio is outputted through the headphones.

I then suspected that there may be dirt in the dock and thourghly cleaned the dock. Still no sound from speakers.

I then stripped PSP down as per your guides and looked at the speakers themselves - visually nothing "seems" wrong.

What areas should i be focussing on to rectify this fault?

Is it possible the speakers have blown after a heavy bout of dance/trance bass?

If so where can i obtain replacement parts?

Thanks in advance

Coxy

-EDIT-

Reading other psp go problems i found this fuse diagram.

http://www.mr-vizitkin.ru/images/stories...

I dont speak/read russian and dont know if these fuses are relevant.

Anyone care to share a translation?

PSP Go: The fuse for my backlight is out, where is it?

Sat, 25 Oct 2014 15:14:43 -0700

Couple weeks back while playing my screen just went out in the middle of the game, still plays, sound works and everything, but no picture. It's not under warranty but when holding a flashlight to the screen you can still see the picture. Took it apart to try and solder the fuse but I can't find the fuse, anybody know where it is?? Or somewhere that has a schematic or picture to show me what to look for?

PSP Go: Can't connect to computer with Data cable

Mon, 03 May 2021 00:57:04 -0700

I currently have two PSP Go’s and both are not connecting with my (pretty old) laptop, one has CFW 6.61 PRO-C∞ and the other still has the OFW 6.61. It just says Please Wait the whole time unless I connect it to a power outlet, where it says that I should connect the PSP to a PC or a PS3 with this cable. I also had the one with CFW already connected to my computer, which is how I put the CFW on there and how I modded it. I just haven’t used it in a while and now it just doesn’t connect with the computer anymore.

I currently also don’t have a way of testing it on another computer.

I have disabled the “USB Charge” setting, which the PSP recommends to draw less current, but to no avail.

I also don’t have any memory card in either of the PSP’s, So I can’t even use that to transfer stuff to the internal memory of the PSP later using a File manager that I installed.

It might be the cable, which would be a bummer, would have to order a new one online, but in the same time I’m not sure about that. It might also be the computer, but I also can’t find anything popping up in the Device Manager, so that I could update/reinstall the driver and I haven’t had any issue connecting anything else to my computer.

[EDIT] since the one with the CFW had some other issues, screen would often not turn on, I ended up tearing the two PSPs completely down and also modifying them by mix and matching the panels and switching the screen on the one with the CFW. The connection between computer and PSP still doesn’t work. At this point it must be the Computer or the Cable. I will check it on another computer this week to see if that changes anything.

Thanks!
